Tea Bricks, Cakes and Shapes

Welcome To Our Tea Bricks, Cakes and Shapes Offerings!

While most teas are available in convenient loose leaf and teabag forms, several Chinese Yunnan and Pu-erh teas are still manufactured in various sized bricks, cakes and pieces. These styles were the preferred methods of tea production centuries ago.These formats allowed the tea to travel long distances with ease. When this style of tea was brewed, a piece of the brick or cake was then broken off by using a small knife or tool.

Blooming Teas are traditional tea leaves that are picked and then hand-tied into tight globe shapes. These tea blossoms are crafted by Chinese artisans, all highly skilled in their craft. When steeped, these teas open up to reveal delicate flowers nestled inside.
